Absolutely. We specialise in buying broken vans in any condition — whether it’s a seized engine, major accident damage, or a van that’s beyond economical repair. If it’s broken, we’ll still make you an offer.
Yes. We offer free UK-wide collection for all broken vans, whether they’re on your driveway, at a garage, or stuck at the roadside. You don’t need to arrange transport — we handle everything.
Yes. A blown or seized engine is one of the most common reasons people come to us. We buy vans with all types of engine failure and will give you a fair price based on the van’s salvage or parts value.
We buy Category S, Category N, Category A, and Category B write-offs. Even if your insurer has written the van off, it often still has significant salvage value and we’ll make a competitive offer
Yes. Even if your broken van has been sitting on the drive or in storage for a long time, we can arrange collection and purchase. Age and inactivity don’t affect our ability to buy it.
The value depends on the make, model, year, mileage, and the nature of the damage. Popular vans like the Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, and VW Transporter often attract strong offers even when broken, due to demand for second-hand parts. Use our instant quote tool to get an accurate price in seconds.
Payment is made on the day of collection, before your van is loaded. Most customers receive a bank transfer within minutes of handover.
Ideally you’ll need your V5C logbook, a valid form of photo ID, and any available MOT or service history. If you’ve lost the V5C, contact the DVLA for a replacement using form V62 — or give us a call and we’ll advise you.
You can, but removing parts may reduce the offer we can make, as the van’s value is partly based on its salvage potential. We’d recommend getting a quote first so you can weigh up whether it’s worth it.
No. There are no admin fees, no collection charges, and no hidden deductions. The price we quote is exactly what you receive.
That’s not a problem. We regularly buy vans with no MOT, expired MOTs, or vehicles that failed their last MOT and weren’t worth repairing. MOT status doesn’t affect our ability to collect or buy.
Yes. We cover most locations across the UK — from major cities to rural areas. No matter where your broken van is, we’ll come to you.
In many cases, we can offer same-day or next-day collection. Once you’ve accepted your quote, we’ll arrange a time that suits you.
If the repair cost is more than 50–60% of the van’s value after repairs, selling is usually the smarter option. Other signs it’s time to sell include recurring breakdowns, excessive rust, or a major mechanical failure on a high-mileage vehicle.
Just give us a call as soon as possible. As long as collection hasn’t been arranged, we can cancel without any issue. We want the process to be stress-free from start to finish.
